• PS 6, questions of Yosemite

  I've recently updated to OS10.10.1 and Photoshop does not behave very well, the brushes are late and sometimes lack of features completely, it is the worst of the problems so if I can solve this problem, I can live with the rest of the questions.

  Thank you

  You need install the WhiteWindowWorkaround plugin to work around known issues in Mac OS.

  And have you tried turning off the leaders while painting?

• Help with account permissions / Yosemite

  Looking for help well informed with a pesky question of Yosemite...

  I have an old Mac with multiple disks, and I try to get the most recent versions of Mac OS X installed and working properly.

  The hardware and OS details:

  • Mac Pro 4.1 ("cheese grater")
  • 3 hard disks 1 to
  • Machine has been (and is still) 10.6.8 Snow Leopard as its main operating system running.  It's on HD #2.  That works very well, though obviously limited the age (old apps).  I need to keep this as a configuration to boot can be used - in other words, I need to preserve the ability to boot from the HD #2 in 10.6.8 as this is currently my workplace every day and will probably continue for a while.

  Last year, I installed 10.10.3 Yosemite on internal HD #1.  I initially had some difficulties to be able to switch between the boot disks, but am now able to choose with reliability drive/starting system at startup via the Startup Manager (boot, invoking the Boot Manager, I choose #2 with 10.6.8 HD or HD #1 with 10.10.3).)

  So far so good.

  Everything works well when it is started on the 10.6.8 by car.

  When it is started off the coast of the 10.10.3 drive, there is account/permissions issues that prevent me from using it for something meaningful.  That's what I'm trying to correct now.

  Note that I installed 10.10.3 on HD #1 for over a year and I've never used for anything - that the drive is empty other than the operating system.  If I need to blow this facility, I can do.

  The problem: I am currently not able to install apps on HD #1 (after starting on #1 with 10.10.3). HD  When I try to install anything, the operating system will appear an authentication dialog box: '< name of install App > wants to make changes. Type of administrator name and password to enable this. »

  I get my account name and PW (which I have always used for everything on this machine for ever), and it fails.

  Research in system preferences > users and groups, I see not what probably is the problem: my account is a "Standard user", not an administrator account.  There is no listed administrator account (in fact, no other users listed, other than the "Guest", which is disabled).  I don't know how he got in this State, I was always the administrator on this machine, and I guess it would have copied accounts and permissions of the 10.6.8 installation, or otherwise if he asked me about this information during the installation I took myself as an administrator.  In any case, my user account is now "Standard", which is probably the cause of the current unrest.  I am constantly invited to enter a log in admin whenever I try to do anything (a 'function' rather annoying but lets not go).  This machine is my home, nobody else is going to have physical access to it, no children in the House, that's for sure, I prefer to ignore as many log-ins required security etc. as possible, but for now, I just get my user configured as an administrator account.

  What is the best way to achieve this?

  As I said, I have nothing invested in the current installation of 10.10.3 HD # 1, this player is all-but-empty and I can blow that installation (and re - format the drive) if it's the easiest path.  But it is extremely important that I have the integrity of the other disk, HD #2, which is running 10.6.8 and has important data and apps on it.  I want to make sure that everything I do with or HD #1 and 10.10.3 is no impact on the #2 HD and my ability to boot from 10.6.8 on it.

  (I also have a third 1 TB internal disk (HD #3).  This player is 100% empty and unused.  After I get the permissions of the account/fixed on HD #1 with 10.10.3, I would then install 10.11 El Capitan on HD #3 - and have the ability to boot to one of the three systems - but I'll keep my questions on that until I have the 10.10.3 sorted issues.)

  Then... I guess the only real issue here that I need to address is the fact that my user account on #1 on 10.10.3 HD is not an admin (no?) account.  If this is the case, what is the best way for me to fix this?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help - it is much appreciated.

  Can you unlock the preferences system/users and groups? If so, you should be able to give administrator privileges. See if something in this article helps you. Since you have nothing else on the disc, if all else fails, delete and reinstall. Setup Wizard will allow you to create an admin account.

  User account - add new Admin

  Make a backup, best 2 separated on 2 discs. Start of recovery volume (command - R on a restart, or hold down the option/Alt during a restart and select the Volume of recovery). Run the check/repair disk utility and repair permissions until you get no error.  Reformat the hard disk using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS extended (journaled), then click on the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the operating system.

• connection lost of rMBP vs airport Time Capsule

  It gets more frustrating and I noticed that a number of users had similar problems so I wonder if I'm missing something. Here we go:

  • Time Capsule 2 TB with the 7.7.3 airport firmware
    • Connected to the router of Virgin Media fibre optic (WiFi disabled in the box of the Virgin)
  • rMBP end of 2015 with all the updates and new OSX

  All devices (2 x 2 x 1 x PS4, iPhones, iPads) seems to work very well. Apart from my MBP. What is going on?

  • WiFi a works very well.
  • All of a sudden nothing will load.
  • I can either wait a few minutes for the connection to continue or should I switch WiFi on & off and it works fine after that for another 15 minutes.
  • Keep in mind that the connection has not declined: he is always connected and showing all the bars.
  • It makes no difference where in the House, I the Capsule is not obstructed by anything.
  • .. .and only the MBP have these problems.
  • .. with this Capsule, .and everywhere else (work, Hotels, etc.) the MBP works seamlessly with other WiFi networks.

  Any ideas? I did the factory reset - it worked once for a few weeks and then it started happening again. He did not work during the last 10 factory reset.

  I assume that you are running the latest version of El Capo on your computer?

  Have you installed upgrading it above Yosemite when you got the computer or shortly after?

  There seems to be some DNS issues strange happening.

  Wireless with Mac Laptops later issues are well known on the longer thread in this area is wireless questions about Yosemite... maybe soon overtaken by problems wireless on El Capo.

  Re: OSX Yosemite Wifi issues

  Yosemite no wired or wireless network

  I think you have to look at the posts in the region for your operating system...

  Let me recommend a few changes... You've probably seen the posts before if you've been trawling for info.

  1 make sure IPv6 for wireless is set to the local link only on the computer.

  2. make sure that all the names are short, < 10 characters, no spaces and pure alphanumeric characters.

  3 password identical, but longer. 8 to 20 characters.

  4. use the google DNS values... so, go wireless in and under the DNS tab and set up google DNS. (Or change the configuration of TC to see below static IP)

  5 is the TC in bridge mode... (It probably should be plugged into a box of blank media)

  Try using Static IP method instead... which has improved things in my configuration.

  MDworker is the job that creates the Spotlight index.

  I wondered if the part of the question with Yosemite and El Capitan is slow after upgrade is all that reindexing.

  Menu utilities - activity monitory - check the MDS and the MDworker to see if they show great use of CPU.

• Yosemite &amp; NEW installation of InDesign CS6 - questions?

  I installed on my 2010 Yosemite MacBook Pro. My boss wants me to buy InDesign CS6 as a new installation. (I've never had any version of InDesign installed on my Mac). I prefer InDesign CC, but he's going for him.

  I've seen a few questions where those who have already installed versions of InDesign CS6 have problems with it after the installation of Yosemite.

  Given that mine would be a NEW installation of InDesign CS6 on a Mac of Yosemite, I wonder if there are any known issues.

  I don't want to buy the software and then have problems.

  (I'm not having problems with already installed versions of Photoshop CS6 and Dreamweaver CS6 and Yosemite).

  The problems are happening with update installs Yosemite. If you did a clean installation, you should be fine. An upgrade? Anything other than a roll of the dice.

  Download the trial version and give it a whirl.

  BTW, you could explain to your boss that CS6 will cost $700. A subscription to InDesign will be $ 20 $par month.

• Yosemite/elements question... Please help...

  I have an old version of Photoshop Elements (V. 6) and do not use it much, but has the occasional photo I want to manipulate/clean. I upgraded to Yosemite a month ago and that you have not used since I upgraded, but now when I try to open a file need a little farm items and send a report to Apple, so I can't open my photos any longer. I go to file and open and clocks for a minute and then crashes and closes. I can open all files "recently opened" and they appear in the elements, but may not use the link open the file at all. Should I upgrade to a newer version? Really cannot justify $ 79 for as little that I use... Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

  I think this is a bug in os x associated with mac os x 10.10.3 and 10.10.4

  Elements of 6 - MacOS 10.10.3 hangs in the OS open dialog box

  Anyway, you can drag the picture icon PES 6 in the dock to open or use Adobe Bridge to open your photos in PSE 6.

  Some people have also had success in changing the mode icons Finder

  You can also Cmd double click to open the folders in the icons view in the dialog open pse 6

  

  A way to set the dialog box open icons is to go to file > process several files, click one of the Browse buttons, set the display of icons and cancellation on dialog boxes.

  So I hope that when you go to file > Open, PES 6 will not crash.

• Bootcamp Windows 10 question

  Hi all

  Stumbled upon a problem, try to install Windows 10 an end 2014 27' iMac w/retina education runs Yosemite 10.10.5. Bootcamp is V 5.1.4. 32 GB, 3.5 ghz Intel I5. Disk of 1 TB of Fusion. Before you try this, I read the guide of Bootcamp to install windows, but also a number of other tutorials and forum messages about potential problems. This research, I learned that for EDU edition you must change the name of the file from Win10_1607_Education_English_x64.iso to Win10_1607_English_x64.iso. Apparently to have the former name of the file may cause OS X to not recognize the ISO. That fact I started Bootcamp, waited while the software downloaded and created a bootable USB key and partitioned my drive giving Windows 70 GB of space. After that, I got the message that my computer is restarts. Upon restarting, I got the black screen with the blue Windows logo and a spinning loading animation. After a few minutes, a blue screen with a message "Windows has encountered and error with computer and must restart," or something similar. He was pretty quick, so maybe it's not word for Word, but it was not a helpful post in terms of saying something specific. When the computer reboots, I am sent directly to OS X, though a bit slower than normal. I tried to restart with the flash drive to see if the installer would start up, no dice. Try now the Option key at startup, the flash player is not available. Went into my settings to see if I could change my startup on Win disk install USB, no luck it no more.

  Now for the question: How can I get the Windows installation again? What I have to start the process, and if so, what should I use Bootcamp to delete the partition that was created? I have re-run Bootcamp and the only option that is checked is the partition and start and install/uninstall windows and delete the partition.

  Thanks for the help.

  If you use a USB drive, not a USB flash drive, you will have problems. It is recommended to use a 8-16 GB USB2 flash drive.

  If the installation program is located on a USB Flash drive, stop your Mac, connect the USB key, restart and hold down the alt/option key and select the Windows icon in the USB port. This installs Windows in BIOS mode. If you click the start EFI icon, it will install using the EFI mode (faster). You may need to change the partition from MBR to GPT using GPT Fdisk.

• What ios 10 compatible with yosemite?

  Basically, are there restrictions on the iPhone upgrade to iOS 10 and Yosemite running on a MacBook? For example, will have problems with Messages, Numbers, Pages, Mail, etc. I have not activated the special features of Notes because Yosemite does not support.

  To anticipate a question, I did not update to El Capitan again because I want to do a clean install and that takes careful planning. Thank you!

  It is compatible and works, but some features of iOS 10 requires macOS "Sierra": http://www.apple.com/macos/sierra/

  At this point, you might as well wait a few days.

• Display problems after upgrade to Yosemite iMac

  Since the upgrade to Yosemite my iMac has a very 'glitch '... screen Pixels flashing on the screen, all strange pixel following the mouse etc...

  When I boot in SafeMode the problem disappeared, so I guess that this excludes a graphics card problem. I had a reading and most other posts someone has suggested to run a script to determine the cause of the error. I did, but I know know how to decipher the output.

  Link to the old post office with the same question and suggested script etc: https://discussions.apple.com/message/30603036#30603036

  I ran the script Linc so kindly posted above and will display the results below:

• Pictures titles disappear before my eyes using Yosemite

  I think that myself and others have the same problem with Photos (because I see similar issues happening in other posts). I'm looking at my photo album, and I start typing the titles for each photo, as I did for years. Everything's fine until I decided to remove a photo from the album, and the rest of the photos are rearranged. Then titles begin to disappear. So I retype the titles I JUST typed, and everything seems fine. So I remove another picture and Boom, titles disappear.

  With the help of Yosemite, not ready to go to El Capitan. I mention this because I hope that it is not the answer. With the help of pictures, Version 1.0.1 (215.65.0).

  I already did the thing of library 'Rebuild' or 'repair '. There are 2674 photo in my library - not that much, right?

  Can Apple support people reproduce the problem and send a patch, or is it just me? Surely, it is not just me. I have 8 GB of ram and 2 TB size hard drive.

  NO.

  Apple isn't here - it is strictly a user to user forum and you have to attack Apple not other users - http://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html

  But no. Photos corrections are likely in Yosemite that you are six behind and Apple updates does not update in general old software - new patches are released by the new software (and their were many new features in these six updates)

  as for your question specific change are that patch is the fix - I saw some old posts on this subject but none recently while I didn't have been resolved in six versions since you updated even though I've never lived it myself

  So it is very likely that the only solution is to update

• 35.0 Firefox uses 100% cpu on Mac Yosemite 10.10.1 then either breaks or needs force quit.

  I had this problem since installing Yosemite and using 34.0.5. I upgraded yesterday to 35.0 but still the same problem. Firefox will work happily for a while and then all of a sudden will use 100% cpu. I disabled all extensions and plug-ins and that made no difference. If I use Java (8-25), it will usually make it crash but not always.

  To make things worse, the accident report appears in Greek (which is considered in another question already).

• How Downgrade of El Capitan in Yosemite without data loss and without the help of a Time Machine?

  I, are looking for an answer to this question, but couldn't find one.  If there is an and missed it, please tell me and I will look happily on it.  I want to do it without the help of a Time Machine, because I used it at the time of Yosemite.  And I discovered that you can use a cable USB or SD to come down, but how do you do this without losing all my data?

  You must save, erase the drive, install Yosemite, restore your backup of the data

• Re Mail Yosemite: where are the files of signatures and rules are?

  I had to reinstall Yosemite from scratch. I want to import Signatures and rules - without accounts - back-up of the previous installation. What are the names of the files in question and where are they located?

  You need locate the folder ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Signatures for your signatures and ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/SyncedRules.plist for your rules.

  Drag and drop in the same location on your new installation.

  I hope this helps.
